Remote Meetings

We tried something new last night with the OT (operations team), remote meetings. Our OT meets weekly, Our meetings hit three areas: 1. Leadership Development, 2. Spiritual Formation, 3. Operational Needs. They typically last about an 90-120 minutes. We often meet at Panera Bread, but over the last couple months we've been staging for remote meetings. We intended to try it last week, however I left my web cam home while I was at school, so we ended up canceling the meeting. But I decided this week we'd give it a go. It was my understanding that Skype allowed a three-way video conference. But we got to the meeting last night and found that they only allowed a two-way conversation. So we ended up doing a conference call without video.

I suppose I should be glad for the opportunity for remote meetings, but what I found was that it was really difficult to have the same type of conversation without being able to see each other. We are currently looking for another protocol that will allow multiple feed video conferencing. If you know of any, please let me know.
